Blackburn Cheers as Health Care Reform Stalls in House Nashville Scene

Here's what else the Scourge of God, er, I mean Marsha, fails to mention: The private sector can't run a health program for everyone either, at least not one that's acceptable to the majority of Americans. The private sector is beset by the same cost increases that beset TennCare and other state Medicaid programs. And the private sector rations care to an incredible degree. It rations by dumping the indigent and the sick and by denying legitimate care to millions of people who file claims, solely as a cost-containment strategy.

You will never hear the honest truth from Marsha, because telling the truth is not in the interest of a demagogue.

But I actually agree with Bart Gordon's point. Unless healthcare costs are brought under control, healthcare reform will fail and the idea of universal coverage will be unfairly blamed. Then it will be another 15 years before the public is willing to try again. Universal coverage should certainly help lower costs, but it won't do enough on its own. A lot of liberals are deluded about that.
